OBJECTIVE The purpose of this program is to fulfill a need that is clearly evident in the City of Santa Ana, where there is a lack of training providers for low-income special population groups and those with substantial language and cultural barriers. Research has shown that currently unemployed members of the Hispanic community would like to start up their own businesses and create jobs for themselves, their families and others; they also want to generate more income to improve their lifestyles. Our goal at HBC is to help these Latinos achieve the "American Dream" through the use of our own original material, knowledge, experience and programs, which have already proven their worth in this market.

He has been teaching and helping Latinos to become entrepreneurs using his programs, seminars, courses and material through other organizations in Southern California such as: Inland Empire Small Business Development Center, Orange County Small Business Development Center, Santa Ana College, University of Southern California, West Los Angeles Minority Business Development Center, both the Ontario and Santa Ana Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, Orange County Business Council and other private and: public organizations.

INTERNAL SYSTEMS TO MEET CONTRACTUAL OBLlGA nONS In order to facilitate the monitoring of results of the economic impact of this program, HBC has developed a system to create a data collection to track the progress of the participants. Information to bc collected will include who becomes self-employed, the number of jobs created and jobs retained, and the increase in sales and profits, as well as the improvement in employees' jobs. If necessary, we will provide a copy of the forms created. This activity will allow us to furnish a database on all the attendees and will be updated on a regular basis each time we make contact with the participants. For instance, a "customer profile" questionnaire will be administered to the students attending the 21-hr. CTNE course. The data collected will include the "employment status" of the participant, helping us to determine if the person is employed, unemployed or self-employed (business owner). Additionally, we will conduct one-on-one counseling sessions for the graduated students of the CTNE course to help them to start their own business by answering questions related to their feasibility plan, brainstorming about marketing plans, and in general, encouraging them to start generating self- employment and the creation of additional jobs. Hispanic Business Consultants (800) 642.1422 5 '-" ...." Hispanic Business Consultants Corporate Training & Entrepreneurial Seminars For the 21-hr. CTNE course, a pre-screening process to select the participants of the course will be established to make sure that the majority of attendees will actually complete the course and their project of creating a business or feasibility plan. The following facts will be taken into consideration: Prospects to participate in the course will fill out an application form, providing general information on the kind of business they would like to start- up, if they have previous experience as business owners or at least basic knowledge of the type of business chosen, their intended source of funds to start up the business, as well as why they feel we should consider them to receive a scholarship, etc. A pre-screening form to evaluate the applicants will be completed by the administrator of the program, grading the answers from each applicant. Next, an interview by phone to gather additional information will be conducted, including questions such as their employment status (Le., currently employed, unemployed or dislocated worker, business owner, part- time worker, etc.) After the interviews by phone, scholarships to attend the course will be awarded to the people who, according to our rating criteria, are the most suitable to attend and complete the course and their projects. A notification by mail will be sent, along with a map of the site for the course and directions. All the attendees on each core seminar and CTNE course will receive a document of participation. Phone interviews to verify the progress of each participant will be initiated. The results will be logged in to the tracking system. A survey by mail will follow for both the core seminar attendees and the course graduates upon completion of their program. All the original forms and records will be filed and available for reviewing by the Santa Ana WlOfRfK Center when necessary. Additionally, HBC will document the number of jobs created and jobs retained, the increases in sales and profits, and the awarding of financing. The frequency of reporting work progress on the results of the seminars will be at a 90 and l80-day follow-up. The information will be recorded by HBC and shared with the Santa Ana WfO/RfK Center. Furthermore, and in order to increase the effectiveness of this program, HBC is pursuing funds to hire a Case Advocate to help these potential entrepreneurs deal with filing government paperwork and to walk them through the process of Hispanic Business Consultants (800) 642-1422 6 '-" 'wi Hispanic Business Consultants Corporate Training & Entrepreneurial Seminars setting up a simple administrative system.
